Roadmap - MoodleDocs - 1 views

  •  
    "Version 2.0 Moodle 2.0, our biggest release ever, is coming together after two years of development. It contains a huge number of core changes to the platform, most of which are designed to give 3rd party developers more flexibility, scalability and safety. The timetable is designed to deliver Moodle 2.0 in time for the new school year in the northern hemisphere and currently looks like this: * March 2010: Moodle 2.0 Beta release * April, May, June 2010: intensive beta testing and bug fixing (freeze on new features) * 1 July 2010: Moodle 2.0 production release You can track our current progress in detail on the Moodle 2.0 Planning document. Please remember that this document is frequently updated and details can change a lot! Draft release notes at Moodle 2.0 release notes. Please add notable items while they are fresh in your mind. The notes will be edited before the final release. System requirements Since Moodle 2.0 is such a major release, we are allowing ourselves some increases in the requirements. * PHP 5.2.8 is now the minimum version supported. (We are aware that several important linux distros are still shipping earlier versions like 5.2.6, but we need at least version 5.2.x for the new File API, and there are bugs in 5.2.7 and earlier that we could not work around.) This allows developers to write cleaner code using the more recent features of PHP, and will also improve user experience. * Databases should be one of the following: o MySQL 5.0.25 or later (InnoDB storage engine highly recommended) o PostgreSQL 8.3 or later o Oracle 10.2 or later o MS SQL 2005 or later * When upgrading to Moodle 2.0, you must have Moodle 1.9 or later. if you are using an earlier version of Moodle (eg 1.8.x) then you need to upgrade to Moodle 1.9.x first. New Community features * Community hub - Moodle.com Makes it easy for teachers to find other courses to download as templates fo

Make your Moodle course look more like a web page - 13 views

  •  
    Interesting video on using the HTML block as a way of creating links to navigate through course topics - avoiding excessive scrolling.
  •  
    The navigation links on the left hand side are nice but for a completely new (for a learner) technical issue I would rather include the icons. Also, in Moodle 1.9.6 "Book" as a resource type was allowing for reaching the same outcome without complications of inclusing HTML blocks.

We can't let educators off the hook | Dangerously Irrelevant - 3 views

  • You can’t ‘firmly believe in life-long learning’ and simultaneously not be clued in to the largest transformation in learning that ever has occurred in human history. Those two don’t co-exist. Being a ‘life-long learner’ is not ignoring what’s going on around you; you don’t get to claim the title of ‘effective educator’ if you do this.

Eight Brilliant Minds on the Future of Online Education - Eric Hellweg - Our Editors - ... - 0 views

  • The advent of massively open online classes (MOOCs) is the single most important technological development of the millennium so far. I say this for two main reasons. First, for the enormously transformative impact MOOCs can have on literally billions of people in the world. Second, for the equally disruptive effect MOOCs will inevitably have on the global education industry.
  • In the United States, students don't get their money's worth
  • You have to ask yourself, 'What is the nature of education as a good?' Ideally you want it to be learning. But it also functions as insurance.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Things take longer to happen than you think they will and then they happen faster than you think they could.
  • ver the next few years the quality will improve.
  • A teacher in the future will become more like a mentor. The model of on campus education will be more about mentorship and guidance with research as an important factor."
  • "It's important to remember that we're not so good at understanding the subtleties of environments that make them attractive to people.
  • The working out of this will depend a lot on formulas for making it attractive and collaborative.
  • The technology gives us tremendous power to solve this stark problem all around us. We need to design these so no child is left out of this. What need to ask, what is education after all? We need to resolve that. What are we getting our young people ready for? It's for the purpose of our life.
